2015 BMW i8: Sexy Plug-In Hybrid Sport Coupe Coming Later This Year

With awareness of the 2014 BMW i3 battery-electric car starting to rise–it will arrive at dealers in late April or early May–it’s sometimes easy to forget that BMW has a second plug-in car following close behind.

And that’s even before neat technological breakthroughs like the laser headlights.

And adding to the style quotient, we learned today–courtesy of an excited BMW press release–that famed French luxury brand Louis Vuitton will be offering custom-fitted carbon-fiber luggage for the i8.

The two travel bags are described as “a business case and a garment bag,” each one “tailor-made to fit perfectly into the interior” of the plug-in hybrid sports car.
